iPhone 5 owners can rejoice as micro usb adapters have hit ebay. What does this mean for you iPhone 5 owners you no longer have to rely on your one of kind usb cord. The adapter was once only available in Europe but finally made its way State side right on time.
Apple’s iPhone 5, the first iDevice to ship with the new Lightning adapter, hit retail stores on Friday.
Apple was given an earlier waiver to allow it tocontinue to use its past 30-pin interface, and now it has been given a similar waiver for its Lightning dock connector. The waiver requires Apple to ship a microUSB adapter for its connector.
These are, in fact, official Apple adapters, or at least they are advertised as such. They receive quite a premium price, though. They are normally priced at £15.00 in the U.K. Apple Store, which amounts to $24.37 at the time of this writing. The eBay item is priced at double that, or $49.
